Catholicism

Last week I was asked for some resources which would give a short introduction to Catholicism, something on not only the theology but also the culture.

I’m still looking for the ultimate resource, but here are some which might help:

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is the authoritative document on “the Church’s faith and of catholic doctrine, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition and the Church’s Magisterium”. It is encyclopedic and worth looking at. However, it is also long!

For a shorter introduction, I would recommend An Intelligent Person’s Guide to Catholicism by Fr Alban McCoy.
